UH Mānoa Campus Resources

The University encourages victims of sexual violence to talk to somebody about what happened – so victims can get the support they need, and so the University can respond appropriately. While some victims of sexual assault are ready to file a formal complaint against an alleged offender, others may want time and privacy to sort through their next steps.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has many campus resources available to victims and survivors of sexual harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence. There are also local and national resources student victims and survivors may want to consider contacting. Below is a list of some of the resources available.

Please remember that different employees on campus have different abilities to maintain a victim’s confidentiality. Before revealing any information, please make sure you understand the reporting obligations of the person you are speaking to.

Please be aware that a criminal investigation is separate and distinct from UH Mānoa’s institutional response. You may choose both, one, or neither of these options, depending on your individual decision. These options are available simultaneously, and The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa will cooperate with law enforcement agencies if a criminal investigation occurs.

UHM Department of Public Safety

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Public Safety provides protection and security at UH Mānoa 24 hours a day, throughout the year. The Campus Security patrol is responsible for enforcing UH Mānoa rules and regulations and its duties include detecting fires, detaining trespassers, preventing theft and vadalism, and investigating reports of suspicious persons and incidents. Also, upon a reasonable request, officers will provide an escort service from dusk to dawn for students and employees.

Security Escort Service

UHM Department of Public Safety can provide transportation or a walking escort from dusk to dawn for anyone walking alone on campus at night. The escort can be summoned to your location and will either transport you in a Public Safety vehicle or accompany you on foot to any University parking lot or facility.

Counseling and Student Development Center

The Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC) offers support to UH students, staff, and faculty to assist with personal, academic, and career concerns.

CSDC office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. They also offer immediate “walk in” appointments for urgent or emergency/crisis services during their regular daily hours.

University Health Services Mānoa

The University Health Services Mānoa (UHSM) is staffed by physicians, nurse clinicians, nurses, and other support staff, and offers a wide range of medical services and programs to UH Mānoa students, with many of the services also available to UH Mānoa faculty and staff and students from other UH campuses.
